Heat Pump Repair & Installations

HEAT PUMP REPAIR, REPLACEMENT, AND MAINTENANCE FOR HOMEOWNERS IN Winton, CA AND SURROUNDING AREAS

A heat pump is perfect for Winton, CA, residents looking to heat and cool their homes. Heat pumps work well in moderate climates, such as California temperatures, due to the pumps struggling in climates below freezing. The pumps work best in warmer climates because they draw air from the outside to warm your home. If the outdoor air is too cold, the heat pump will have to work harder and less efficiently.

WHAT IS A HEAT PUMP?

Many people first read “heat pump” and think it is strictly for heating purposes. Contrary to this assumption, a heat pump is a heating and cooling device that transfers warm air. In the winter, the system pulls outdoor air, heats it to the desired temperature, and distributes the warm air throughout a space. In the summertime, the pump pulls warm air from the indoor air and transports it outside. The heating and cooling unit is installed outside your home.

HEAT PUMPS ARE ENERGY EFFICIENT

Due to heat pumps simply transferring energy rather than creating it, this heating and cooling option uses less energy compared to other systems. Heat pumps remain energy efficient throughout the winter in moderate climates by rarely having to create heat. According to Energy.gov, today’s heat pumps can reduce your electricity usage by approximately 50% compared to electric resistance heating.

HEAT PUMPS WILL BE REQUIRED IN CALIFORNIA IN 2023

According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, the state of California has committed to reducing fossil fuel use in new homes and buildings, resulting in establishing heat pumps as baseline technology by the beginning of 2023. California aims to achieve 100% clean energy by 2045 and is relying on us to work toward making the golden state green.

HEAT PUMP MAINTENANCE

Much like a car needs an oil change, your heat pump requires preventative maintenance to continue to function properly. Regular maintenance helps ensure your unit is running correctly and efficiently. Your HAC Heating & Air Conditioning technician can help catch a problem before a breakdown with preventative maintenance. Heat pumps should be serviced at least once a year to maintain their longevity, reliability, and efficiency.

Check for and repair any refrigerant leaks
Clean/replace air filter and check for sufficient airflow
Lubricate motors, and inspect belts for tightness and wear
Duct Inspection

GENERAL MAINTENANCE TIPS

Regularly clean and replace air filters
Ensure surrounding area around the pump is clean and free of debris

Preventative maintenance once a year

HEAT PUMP REPAIR IN Winton, CA

If you ever have trouble with your heat pump, we offer a 24/7 repair service. More often than not, your heat pump will show warning signs that it needs repair. Warning signs include:

TOO MUCH NOISE
If your heat pump is making excessive noises such as rattling, this could indicate there is a broken part or in need of repair soon.
SHORT CYCLES
If the heat is switching on and off frequently, there is likely an internal issue that needs to be addressed by a technician.
REDUCED HEATING OR COOLING
Your heat pump may reduce warm or cold airflow, which is likely due to the compressor or a refrigerant leak.
HIGH UTILITY BILLS
While heat pumps are extremely energy efficient, they begin to use more energy if their ability to function is hindered. This will increase your utility bills.

Before calling your HAC Heating & Air Conditioning technician, try these simple troubleshooting tips to alleviate the problem.

MAKE SURE YOUR HEAT PUMP IS NOT BLOCKED.

A blocked heat pump can result in insufficient airflow, which could be why your heating was reduced or your utility bill was raised. Due to your heat pump pulling air from outside, any obstruction or debris can harm airflow and make your heat pump work harder.

CONFIRM THE THERMOSTAT IS WORKING.

Your thermostat could be switched off or not on the correct setting. This could be the reason your heat pump has stopped air flow completely. Ensure the thermostat is on, has proper settings, and has new batteries if battery-powered.

CHECK YOUR AIR FILTER.

Maintaining a clean air filter is one of the most important things you can do for your heat pump. Your air filter provides consistent airflow, clean air quality, and overall comfort. If your air filter is dirty or clogged, your heat pump can overheat, shut down, or slow airflow.

HEAT PUMP REPLACEMENT SERVICES

How do you know whether to replace or repair your heat pump? There are many factors to consider, but here are the main reasons you should consider replacement.

YOUR HEAT PUMP IS 10 YEARS OR OLDER. Heat pumps typically last an average of 15 years, but the chance of needing to replace them begins when the unit is about 10 years old. Your heat pump’s efficiency levels decline as it ages because the unit works all year to heat and cool.
YOUR HEAT PUMP NEEDS FREQUENT REPAIRS. If your unit is 10 years of age or older, it may need frequent repairs, which can be costly. Replacing your heat pump can save on energy and repair costs in the future.

YOUR HEAT PUMP IS STRUGGLING TO MAINTAIN THE THERMOSTAT SETTING.

If you have evaluated heat pump repair and your unit is still not meeting heating and cooling demands, it may be time to replace your system. A struggling unit is not only affecting your overall comfort but is driving up your energy bill as well. Let us help you replace your heat pump with a newer, more efficient system to save on utility bills and keep you comfortable.

Don’t let your system breakdown on you before you make the decision to replace it. A heat pump breakdown and replacement in the middle of winter or the Winton, CA heat sounds like a nightmare. Pay attention to these signs to know if your heat pump needs to be replaced. We are here to help make your heat pump replacement as easy as possible. Give us a call to inspect your heat pump!

CLIENT REVIEWS

HEAR FROM OUR CLIENTS

I recently used H-A-C to install a new HVAC system, they are a great family owned and run local business. Horatio and his crew did a great job from start to finish. They followed all my directions, explained everything very thoroughly before they started any work- what to expect, what they will do and how they will do it- and met all my expectations. They did very good quality and clean work and most importantly, they were on time to meet for the estimate and walk through and competed they're work when they said they would. They were very truthful and upfront, not to mention very price competitive! I will gladly recommend them to friends and clients! Thank You!

This company is honest and professional. We had been to 2 different companies because our AC quit working on a 109 degree day. One said it was shot, 5900 for a new unit. The other one said it was fine needed freon, but he was out. Got this companies number from a friend and called the came out the next day. Low and behold the unit was fine no freon needed not broken beyond repair, it was clogged and needed cleaning. They deep cleaned it and my house has never been cooler. Can't say enough positive things about this company. Thank you so happy and cool 😊
